UNECE WP.1 19-Mar-13 ISO Driving Licence Standards UNECE WP.1 March 2013 Geneva Gerrit Fischer – Project Editor ISO/IEC JTC1/SC17/WG10 Purpose of the presentation • Background o Integrity of current IDP • Problem definition o Current needs & technology • Suggestion/Proposal o Refer to ISO specification of driving licence card ISO/IEC JTC1/SC17/WG10 Page 1

UNECE WP.1 19-Mar-13 Limitations of Current IDP • Easily copied, altered, or simulated and difficult for law enforcement authorities to detect fraudulent licences from genuine documents. • Many non-government IDP issuing authorities do not query their respective government motor vehicle agencies to establish if the DDP presented is still valid and still current. • There is no register/directory of national motor vehicle agency addresses for the inquiry and exchange of information among the agencies to verify the validity of a presented IDP. Limitations of Current IDP • Does not incorporate the ISO machine-assisted data storage technologies whilst numerous DDPs do. • Suspension or cancellation of domestic driving licence (DDL) or domestic driving permit (DDP) should result in an automatic suspension or cancellation of the IDP; however, the current system does not facilitate that. • The IDP holder may circumvent disqualifications entered on their original IDP by obtaining a new IDP. ISO/IEC JTC1/SC17/WG10 Page 2

UNECE WP.1 19-Mar-13 Limitations of Current IDP • Validity of the IDP is currently limited to a maximum of 1 to 3 years, depending on the UN Convention followed. • Requirement in 2006 Amendment of 1968 Vienna Convention that IDP must be accompanied by DDP: o Effectively renders IDP as translation only. o Places confidence in integrity of DDP, which may be of plastic or paper . • DDP now becomes the focus of forgers and in many cases will not be able to withstand the test of time.

UNECE WP.1 19-Mar-13 ISO/IEC 18013 • UN Conventions on Road Traffic of 1949 (Geneva) and 1968 (Vienna) specify a Domestic Driving Permit (DDP) and International Driving Permit (IDP) • ISO/IEC 18013 specifies an “ISO compliant driving licence” (IDL) that can perform the function of both DDP and IDP • Number of signatories to Geneva Convention did not ratify and are not signatories of the Vienna Convention ISO/IEC 18013 • From vehicle category and data content regulatory perspective ISO/IEC 18013-1 is compliant with both Geneva and Vienna Conventions, as well as European Union Driving Licence Codes, prior to 3 rd Directive • ISO/IEC 18013 allows flexibility for issuing jurisdictions to adapt (i.e. make more strict or add to) the ISO standard for domestic purposes without becoming non-compliant with ISO/IEC 18013 ISO/IEC JTC1/SC17/WG10 Page 6
